Isaia 24
1 A IA hoi, e hooneoneo ana o Iehova i ka aina, E anai ana oia ia ia; E hookahuli no oia ia ia, a e hoopuehu i kona poe e noho ana.
Lo! Yahweh emptying the earth and laying it waste, —And he will overturn the face thereof, And scatter them who dwell therein.
2 E hiki mai auanei keia, E like me kanaka, pela no ke kahuna; E like me ka kauwa kane, pela no kona haku kane; E like me ke kauwa wahine, pela no kona haku wahine; E like me ka mea kuai mai, pela no ka mea kuai aku; E like me ka mea noi, pela no ka mea haawi; E like me ka mea loaa ka ukuhoopanee, Pela no ka mea haawi i ka ukuhoopanee.
And it shall be—As the people, so, the priest, As the servant, so his lord, As the maid, so, her mistress, —As the buyer, so, the seller, As the lender, so, the borrower, As the debtor, so! his creditor.
3 E hooneoneo loa ia ka aina, e anai loa ia'ku no, No ka mea, na Iehova i olelo mai ia olelo.
Emptied—emptied—shall be the earth yea pillaged—pillaged, —For, Yahweh, hath spoken this word.
4 Ke kanikau nei ka aina, ua mae wale, Ua nawaliwali ka honua, ua mimino loa; Ua nawaliwali ka poe haaheo o ka aina.
Mourneth, fadeth, the earth Languisheth, fadeth, the world, —Languished have the lofty of the people of the earth.
5 Ua hoohaumiaia ka aina malalo o ka poe i noho; No ka mea, ua ae lakou maluna o na kanawai, Ua hoololi i na olelopaa, Ua uhai lakou i ka berita mau loa.
Yea the earth itself is profaned under them who dwell therein, —For they have Set aside laws, Gone beyond statute, Broken an age-abiding covenant.
6 Nolaila i pau ai ka aina i ka hooinoia, A ua hoopaiia ka poe e noho ana maluna ona; Nolaila e pau ai na kanaka o ka aina me he ahi la, Uuku hoi na kanaka e koe iho.
For this cause, a curse, hath devoured the earth, And punished are the dwellers therein, —For this cause, are burned the inhabitants of the earth, And the men left remaining—are few.
7 Ke waiho wale la no ka waina hou, Ua mae wale na kumu waina, O ka poe a pau i olioli ka naau, ua kaniuhu.
Mourneth the new wine. Withereth the vine, —Sighing are all the merryhearted:
8 Ua oki ke kanikani olioli o na pahukani, Ua pau hoi ka olioli o ka poe olioli ana, Ua oki pu no hoi ke kanikani olioli o ka lira.
Ceased hath the mirth of timbrels, Ended is the noise of the uproarious, —Ceased hath the mirth of the lyre:
9 Aole lakou e inu hou i ka waina me ke oli; A e lilo ka wai ona i mea awaawa i ka poe nana e inu.
With a song, they drink not wine, —Bitter is strong drink, to them who drink it:
10 Ua wawahiia ke kulanakauhale neoneo; Ua paniia na hale a pau, aohe mea komo iloko.
Broken down is the city of desolation, —Shut up every house that it cannot be entered.
11 He hooho no ka waina ma na alanui, Ua nalowale ka lealea a pau, Ua oki hoi ka olioli ana o ka aina.
There is an outcry concerning wine in the streets, —Darkened is all joy, Departed the gladness of the earth.
12 E waiho ana no ke kulanakauhale me ka neoneo, Ua kani no ka wawahi ana o ka pukapa.
There is left in the city. desolation, —And to ruins, have been broken the gate.
13 Pela no auanei mawaenakonu o ka aina, Mawaena hoi o na kanaka, E like me ka laau oliva i luluia, E like hoi me ka hooiliili hope ana, I ka wa i pau ai ka hua waina i ka ohiia.
When, thus, it shall be in the earth in the midst of the peoples, [There shall be] like the shaking of an olive-tree, like the going round to pick when closed is the harvest.
14 Aka, e hookiekie no keia poe i ko lakou leo iluna, A e olioli aku, E hauoli lakou i ka nani o Iehova mai ke kai mai.
They, shall lift up their voice—shall raise a tremulous note, —On account of the splendour of Yahweh, have they made a shrill cry, on the West;
15 Nolaila, e hoomana oukou ia Iehova, ma ka hikina, I ka inoa hoi o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ma na moku puni o ke kai.
For this cause, In the Regions of Light, give ye glory to Yahweh, —In the Coastlands of the Sea, unto the Name of Yahweh. God of Israel,
16 Ua lohe kakou i ke oli ana, mai ke kihi o ka honua mai, He nani ka poe i pono! I aku la no hoi au, Kuu make e, kuu make e! Auwe hoi au! Ke luku nei ka poe luku, O ka poe luku, ke luku nei, he luku ino.
From the uttermost part of the earth, melodies, have we heard—Beauty, to the righteous one! But I had said—Ruin to me! Ruin to me! Woe to me! Traitors, have betrayed, Yea traitorously, have traitors betrayed!
17 E ka mea e noho la ma ka aina, Aia maluna ou ka makau, a me ka lua, a me ka upiki.
Terror and pit and snare, —are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth!
18 O ka mea e holo, mai ka uwalaau o ka makau aku. E haule no ia ilalo i ka lua; A o ka mea e pii mai, mai loko mai o ka lua, E paa no ia iloko o ka upiki; No ka mea, ua hamama na puka wai o kulanihakoi, A ua naueue hoi na kumu o ka honua.
So shall it be—He that fleeth from the sound of the terror! shall fall into the pit, And, he that getteth up out of the midst of the pit, shall be captured in the snare, —For, the windows on high, have opened, And shaken are the foundations of earth.
19 Ua hoonaueue ino ia ka aina, Ua hoohelelei loa ia ka aina, Ua haalulu loa hoi ka aina.
The earth breaketh, breaketh, —The earth crasheth, crasheth, The earth tottereth, tottereth;
20 Ua hikaka loa no ka aina, e like me ka mea i ona, Ua luliluli e like me ka moe lewa; Ua kaumaha no hoi kona hewa maluna ona, A hina no hoi ia, aole ala hou mai.
The earth staggereth—staggereth like a drunken man, And rocketh to and fro like a night-hut, —So shall be heavy upon her, her transgression, And she shall fall and not again rise.
21 A hiki aku ia la, E hoopai no o Iehova ma kahi kiekie i ka hewa o ka poe kiekie, A maluna o ka honua i ka hewa o na'lii o ka honua.
And it shall be in that day, That Yahweh will bring punishment Upon the host of the height in the height, —And upon the kings of the ground on the ground.
22 A e hoakoakoa pu ia lakou e like me ka poe paahao, no ka halepaahao; A e hoopaa loa ia lakou maloko o ka halepaahao; A mahope o na la he nui, e hoopaiia no lakou.
And they shall be swept together in a crowd, fettered for a pit, And shall be lowered into a dungeon, —And, after many days, shall they be punished.
23 E hilahila no ka mahina, a e hilahila pu no me ka la; No ka mea, na Iehova o na kaua e noho alii, Maluna o ka mauna o Ziona, a ma Ierusalema, A ma ke alo o kona poe kahiko oia e hooleaia'i.
Then shall blush the silvery moon, Then turn pale the glowing sun, —Because Yahweh of hosts hath become king In Mount Zion And in Jerusalem, And before his Elders in glory,
